Important Note for PayPal Subscription: If your user purchases a Subscription or monthly Membership, then at the end of the term PayPal will re-bill them automatically and the job board will re-new the subscription automatically. If your customer wants to cancel the automatic re-billing, then they should log in to their PayPal account and cancel it from there. They can do this at any time. Also, if your customer wants to upgrade or downgrade a subscription, they should log in to their PayPal account and cancel the subscription and then wait until it expires on the job board system. After the subscription expires, they can re-order a bigger or smaller plan. It is recommended that you specify these rules in your terms and conditions and/or the edit your order confirmation email templates with these rules, etc.

Note 2: If your customer wants to upgrade / downgrade immediately, then ask them to cancel the subscription via their PayPal account and then go to Subscription Reports and click the question next to the 'Completed' status. There you will see a 'Refund' button where you can immediately terminate their subscription. Your customer would then be able to create a new order from their job board account.

Note 3: In the event of immediate refunds, then you must refund the transaction in your PayPal account and cancel the subscription there. The subscription status on the job board should change automatically.

Note 4: In some cases, the order may fail to re-bill. PayPal will then attempt to re-bill a few times before giving up. If you want paypal to stop the re-attempts, log in to your PayPal account and cancel the subscription manually.

Note 5: In the job board, there are two products which are subject to the PayPal Subscriptions: Subscription to the resume database and Memberships. Although in the PayPal system both of these are considered as subscriptions, the job board uses two different terms to differentiate the products. Also, memberships plans with a one-off fee do not get sent as PayPal subscriptions, but the usual PayPal payments - so a customer is not rebilled for one-off Membership payments.
